Description:
"The Power" by Naomi Alderman is an electrifying and thought-provoking novel that explores a world where teenage girls suddenly gain the ability to inflict agonizing pain and even death with a flick of their fingers. This single twist of fate transforms the lives of four central characters in the story. Set against a backdrop of political and social unrest, the novel delves into the profound implications of this newfound power on gender dynamics, society, and individuals.
